  2. It is for CQB, but maybe a later version of the H&K MP series (And the G series).....however, for longer range etc, the M16 (I meant 16 in my post above) assault rifle 5.56 cal is used as well as the C8 (a similar rifle).

  8. The Barrett will do the job as far as I am concerned....(if man enough for the recoil)........... with 0.5" calibre, if you are good enough hit the target, it won't get up again.

  11. The BMG is a Browning, sort of; not quite the same as the Barrett..

  19. The 408 seems to be taking over from the .50.

    I'm posting a link for the last time on this matter.I knew about this but didnt want to post as it wasnt out there but it is now.Apart from mopping floors and other duties whilst in the glasshouse,he was also asked to do some "other"training and instructing duties.Scroll down to the video to find out.

  20. I was able to discuss this today with the Judge Advocate General at some length. The judiciary are quite content with the case, which has simply shown the system working well. Obviously they are not concerned with ill-informed froth in the media.

    What they are annoyed about are public comments made by a cabinet minister (the Secretary of State for Defence, the Rt Hon Philip Hammond MP) apparently trying to interfere with the judicial process. This is completely out of order and will have to be taken further, behind the scenes obviously.
